What ethical rules regulate professionals who wish to practice with people in other professions?
In addition to the two rules cited above, the ethical codes governing attorneys, mediators, psychologists, clinical social workers, and CPAs require the protection of client confidentiality and avoiding conflicts of interest. At BLC, we protect client confidentiality by maintaining filing and information systems for BLC clients that are separate and apart from those of our affiliates. When we consult with each other about cases, we avoid the disclosure of confidential information unless we have express permission from the client in advance to discuss the matter with another professional in our office. In addition, BLC uses a screening process to avoid conflicts of interest.
